I totally agree. Care means for me to not step into the Grand Canyon
because one can see the complete scene. However, with a microscope one
may never see the edge of the canyon before it is too late.Also, my
question has always been, did the original reader try to analyze every
word to the most microscopic degree of understanding that we do today?
For, when I converse with someone today, we do not analyze every word we
write or say in this manner. We just understand each other. What are we
missing or overlooking with the Koine? Should we look at the total
scenery versus every vein on every leaf? I can't say, but I'm still
learning. And, apparantly, so is everyone else.
